Dragonborn WIP Preview

Working on a new setup for how I could handle player character paper miniatures. I feel like this is either a great idea or a terrible one... seems like all of my ideas involve a butt-load of time upfront in the hope that I can make up time later ha.

Generic Dungeon Set 01 Map Tiles

This is the first set of map tiles I've created. It is intended to be a base "bare bones" dungeon tile set which  should have enough turns, straightaways, and dead ends to get you started. I'll continue to release new tiles that will build on and add to this set with new layouts, decorative details, and unique furnishings to further flesh  your dungeon adventures. 

The initial generic dungeon map tiles are available for free here:

Quick Update on Map Tiles

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to reach out and give a quick status up date on the Map Tiles. 

TL;DR Version:

I ran into some technical/software limitation and I'm working on getting them resolved, but should have a small batch (12 or so) tiles available this weekend. 

The Weeds:

The process of creating a pipeline that can accommodate multiple grids, alternate colors, and handle future modifications efficiently across hundreds of...

Spell Template/Mini Preview

Close up shots here.

Test prints for the bigby's hand and grasping vine minis that were selected by the Council (tier 5). 

Web template print needed some love before I start showing it off, but it's in the works a well.

Dungeon Tile Exploration

My obsession with trying out map tiles has been quite the distraction, but I should have a (hopefully useful) dungeon set available for you guys in the near future.

Patreon isn't great for posting multiple images, but posted a few more shots on twitter

Thanks in advance for humoring me XD

Sahuagin Mother Preview

As some of you may or may not recall, almost two years ago my partner had me draw some pregnant monsters for her while she was pregnant with our son (recap here: Pregnant Monsters). A favorite of her's from that set was the Sahuagin, so for mother's day this year I made her a follow up pair of minis.

I'll be releasing them as soon as I get a chance to finish...

Map Tile Test

Been wanting to do maps forever and I think I've finally settled on a format that might work for me. I'm not sure they're something I'll be able to complete on a monthly schedule yet, but if there's interest I'd definitely like to start incorporating them in on occasion.

Image above is for a test 5"x7" tile and I'll be releasing it (and hopefully another tile) to Patrons this month.

Her Serenity, the Lady of Pain

UPDATE 5/11/2017 : DMsGuild notified me today that WotC does not want to make Planescape content to be available yet. Apparently incorporating the Lady of Pain into your Forgotten Realms or personal setting doesn't fly with them. She'll be available again as soon as WotC opens up Planescape for user content. Sorry everyone :(  


The Lady of Pain paper miniature is now available for free at the Dungeon Masters Guild here:

Almost there...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you all a quick status update on the Fire Giant and Hellhounds. Test prints went well, but I've still got a bit more work to do getting all of the PDF files formatted and QA'd. On track to have them released Monday evening.  I'll be following up with the Tier 2 reskins Tuesday and then shooting to have the Lady of Pain released Wednesday. 

My apologies for the delay, I was hoping to get everything out this weekend, but didn't quite happen.

Holy #$@% That is Amazing

I had just finished putting my son to sleep - we had made cookies with him this evening and he maaaaay have been riding a sugar high that kept him up way later then usual - when I checked my phone had saw it had exploded with messages from all of you gals/guys congratulating me on hitting $2,500. 

That's just so crazy, and amazing, and I'm so incredibly grateful to all of you for all of your support. It's humbling and an honor to get to create these neat little minis for everyone and I'm ...

Fire Giant Preview

So the fire giant will be the first paper miniature to have come out of the Council (tier 5) process and I wanted to get an update of the front view line art posted just so show the progress on him. 

I knew when I first did the roughs that if he got chosen I was going to also do a hell hound paper mini to compliment him, so you can see my initial scribble for what I'm thinking for the hell hound.

My plan is to do some quick roughs over this guy for different alternate weapons/beards...

Skeletons!

Her Serenity Preview

Been knocked out of commission the last few days. Thought it was allergies at first but appears to just be the flu. Anyhow,  had to bribe myself out of my funk by letting myself work on the Lady of Pain goal reward. Here's a preview of where the front view currently stands (or hovers, at the case maybe).

Skeleton Preview

Recently did a poll among Council members (Tier 5 patrons) and coming in at 2nd place was Zombies/Skeletons. (Spoiler: Fire Giant won) So while skeletons didn't win I thought it was a good indication that is was over due for me to update the art and add a back view to my old skeleton mini.

I've added a variate for a skeleton archer which I'm planning to include at the base level to cover the stats blocks included in the 5th edition Monster Manual and then I did an additional spear man art vari...

Added "The Council" Reward Tier

Hey Everyone!

I've just added a new $5 Tier for people who want to be more involved in the design choices I make when creating a miniature each month. 

The goal for this tier is to allow patrons to request and vote on what miniature they'd like to see each month. You'll be able to view and vote on early rough sketches, alternative art, and what recolors I'll create for that miniature.

Kick off post for Council suggested minis is here: 2017-04-04 02:54:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Orcus Test Print

Finally got to switch over to finishing this guy up after the never ending trials with those damnable rats haha. 

First test print, and first test to see if he can stand on his own power (he can!). I've got some edits I want to make to pop a few of the elements out a bit more.

Also posted a quick video of it here: Orcus test print
